Elves Live In The Land     
       Beyond The Great Dam.      
  It Was  Built In The  Late Sixties.   
     The Elves Came To Us Then.     
                      
                      
 They  Were  Very  Manipulative,  And  We 
 Came To Trust Them.           Us 
 Kids Would Play Down  At The  Water Even 
 Though We  Were Not Allowed.       
    Sometimes  The  Sluice  Would Close 
 Entirely, And  The  River  At  The  Dams 
 Foot  Would Dry Up,  Revealing The Rocky 
 Water  Garden  That  Had   Been   Hidden 
 Beneath,  And We Would Go There.     
        Before The  Dam Opened Again, 
 There Would  Be A Signal, But The  Elves 
 Would Make Us Not Hear  It, And Suddenly 
 We  Would Find The Water Rising, Already 
 At  Our Knees.               
                      
  By  Then The  Elves Would  Be  Gone.
